Normally I would have written my day two actually ON day 2 or at least on the morning of day 3, but man was I messed up!
I've never gone to a room party before. Let's just start with that.
Those of you that went all probably knew about the intense party Saturday night at room 1007. If not, it's cool, you saved your liver.
I went up there at first to just get a drink to add to my already sort of boozed up state. After which I came back downstairs and went to the art jam
goldendruid and 
snootskunk were throwing to enjoy some drunk doodles.
We had a bit of a fright about a friend not being able to get back to their hotel which then somehow wound up with all of us back upstairs at the room party.
My roomie
corvyn is always the designated driver since they can't actually drink alcohol, so they got to be the single sober person watching all of the crazy drunk people.
It was pretty interesting. I have NO IDEA what was in those cups. Just that it tasted fruity. So I had 3 of this mystery drink along with two shots. I'm pretty sure everything at that point had Ever Clear mixed in with it. For those that aren't familiar with Ever Clear, it's basically Moonshine. It's really intense and you have to mix it in with other things.
Needless to say, I was SMASHED. We went back downstairs and I obsessively drank water so I wouldn't have a hangover in the morning. Meanwhile I was standing there doing this permanent swaying motion. Partially because of being drunk, but partially because the world around me was spinning every time I stopped moving and if I kept swaying everything kinda sorta stood still. Needless to say, driving home on the highway was interesting. I felt like I was on a roller-coaster. All the while my roomie wasn't sure if they should laugh at me or be worried.
But the absolute trippiest part was after I went to bed. I went to sleep around 2am. I woke up around 4 am because I had to pee. (That's what happens when you drink intense amounts of water.) AND I WAS STILL DRUNK. Everything was spinning, I couldn't walk right, and my lips felt totally chapped and dehydrated. 6:30-ish am. AND I WAS STILL DRUNK.
It blows my mind that I was still drunk past 6am when I originally had those drinks at about 12-1 in the morning. So what did I do? I drank more water, and I went to sleep.
So NOW ON TO DAY 3 OF THE CON!
I felt pretty off all day. Just tired and really spacy. But overall it wasn't a bad day. We ate a shit-oad of tacos from taco-bell, I got to hang out with a bunch of friends. Really my only complaint about the con was that they canceled the panel we went to and DIDN'T TELL ANYONE. So the full room of people was sitting there waiting for a panel that never came.
But I got to run around trading soap for a bunch of really cool stuff!
Rhubarb and Cosmic Ruin everything was a great show to watch though. Those lion fursuiters totally stole the show. Especially the one playing the cow bell.
And the evening ended with us playing Cards Against Humanity in a room for a people we had just met this con. They were all totally awesome!
And now that it's over, I admittedly feel a little meh. I wouldn't go so far as to call it post-con depression, but it always sucks to have to go back to "real life" after the fun is all over with. No more fursuiters. No more fun people running around in ears and tails. No more hoping from hotel room to hotel room with new and old friends. Just home and work. bleh.
Honestly, as much as I complained about things at the con, I REALLY did have fun. At the very least with Furry cons, things always tend to balance out. If the con itself sucks, you're still surrounded by great people. If the people suck, you can escape into some really cool panels.
And here's a shout out!
I loved seeing my old friends:
kikojaharo 
daggerleonelli 
madhousemindworks 
mlw 
dieselw0lf
Meeting new friends:
lodidah (And CYN!)
And many many others whose FA names I didn't get the chance to get or just don't know. Or you know, don't remember because I was totally smashed.
I already miss you all and I can't wait to hang out with everyone again next year!

After all, before when I was trying to make a bunny head, it looked like a horse head. Whoops
